Robert Scoble, the most renowned Microsoft blogger, leaves Redmond for Silicon Valley. That is what he confirmed in one of his latest blogs, stating also that his future destination is PodTech.net.[more]
Scoble became famous for bringing a lot of trafic to Microsoft team blogs and Channel 9, although this wasn't his mission in the software giant structure.
On the "good-bye" blog he clearly specified that he remains a Microsoft fan, and that his leaving should not be interpreted as an anti-MS attitude (" I love Microsoft and Microsoft did not lose me — at least as a supporter and friend. I am not throwing away my Tablet PC or my Xbox or my other Microsoft stuff"). He also praised Microsoft as being one of the companies that changed the world and that has never interfered with his views, nor with his expenses ("at Microsoft I am encouraged to change the world and make things better for our customers").
Moreover, he announced that the job Microsoft offerred him was "the best job in the tech world," for which he had turned down a lot of other more financilly satisfactioning work-proposals.
According to Scoble, his departure should not be of any concern, since " there are about 3,000 of them (bloogers) here," and he sees himself just as the "cheerleader".
